Xenophilia is a wor·l·d created from the contraction of Xenos and Philia. In Greek, Xenos means strange, atypical and Philia love, attraction.
The project Xenophilia represents the attraction for the strange and includes everything that is related to diversity, plural and non-standard.
The world and project Xenophilia accepts what is out of the box and welcomes differences as many benedictions.
Female, gender-neutral, male persons, people with visible and invisible disabilities, of all colors and from all backgrounds are welcome to Xenophilia.
I created the project and world Xenophilia to promote gender diversity and inclusion in sports and esports.
It is a space for exchange, sharing and solidarity with inclusive actions linked to esport and lightsaber, two gender-mixed sports where women and people with disabilities are still underrepresentated.
I work in collaboration with other structures to highlight a diversity of profiles, so that gender diversity becomes real and effective.

In February 2023, I co-organised the panel discussion "Sabre Laser au féminin" (Women in Lightsaber) to give a voice to women fighters on the occasion of the first French Championship.
In April 2023, I shared a thread in French after the notes of a live conversation with my community to understand the obstacles that hold back or prevent women from competing and set up actions to densify the female presence at esport events.
